Democrat Patty Murray Wins Fourth Term in Washington State, AP Says

about time we become civil and ratioonal instead of emotional ravings and rantings. we should go back to the days when the media gave equal space and time to boh sides of an issue

Oregon is the one that has the mail in vote and it is alot faster than the old way just try it and you will learn it fast most of the vote is already been counted so there is no hold up

the new congress wants to repeal the financial reform bill. how then do they plan to protect us from the banks and credit card companies and keep wall street and banks from doing what they did before that created this mess ? they also want to repeal the health care bill. what do you replace it with to protect us from insurance companies ? sure would like to know what we are getting instead. they forgot to tell us that part of the plan

My Friends ..... Wash State had a chance to put a " wealthy tax "... on the upper 1% which would have really helped the Middleclass lower their Property Taxes....but it was defeated...as the Rt Wing and Corps poured in Tons of Propaganda which scared everyone into thinking this tax would be on them too.....again the Middleclass gets the screws as BIG MONEY rules....and this is a wrap

I find it kind of funny, that we as tax payers, have spent millions on up-grading the voting systems and we still can't seem to get it done right. How is it in this day and age, we can't seem to be able to tell who won a election with all the modern equiment the country has perched and not know who won any races until days later. The darn things keep breaking down, casting the wrong votes it takes in, and so on and so on. Beats the heck out of me. Alaska, which has so few people, I grant you, thier spead out, But heck they can't have that many voters in one village. Can't some one from the Govt. call in the results that have been counted by hand??? Go figure.

The Washington election is pretty legit. Mr Reid and his , whatever you call it in Nevada is crooked and stinks to high heaven. There is no way without cheating, screwing the people and cheating some more that he won. What a joke the Democrat party is. I will never vote for one of them again. Republican, Independant, Liberaterian,Bull Moose, Whig, I will vote for them, or any party running against a Democrat. They deserted America long ago, they will never have my vote. NEVER !

The article says that the AP (Associated Press) declared Murray the winner. The AP cannot certify the winners in any election. They are only predicting results based on the votes already counted and voting trends. It does not say that the State Board of Elections in Washington State had yet declared either candidate the winner. When all of the votes are counted, the one with the most votes will be the winner!

I, unlike many, have actually sent letters to the senator Murray. Her response(yes I receive responses) is great and seems to be in line with what the people want and need. If you really want to know what is best for you, do some research instead of watching your local news. The news tells you what they want to, not what you really need to know.

I was a Democrat at one time, but when I really took a close look at how the senators voted, and which major groups benefitted from those votes, I chose the party that more closely mirrored my moral outlook, and that was the Republicans. The Democrats vote for more entitlements than this country can ever sustain. Thomas Jefferson, one of the framers of the Constitution, and one of our Founding Fathers, once said " a government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have". Our government is absolutely too big and too controlling of aspects of our daily lives, and cannot manage to shrink healthcare to a manageable level. Every large entitlement program it has ever established has been overrun with waste and corruption. Don't think for a second that this is going to be differerent.

Democracy always runs in circles.
